50 years ago! It was my first ELP album on cassette. I was 14-15yrs I phoned a school friend and said can you hear Carl Palmer yelling "SH*T!" on the intro to The Sheriff! A few years later visited the forest the centrefold photo was taken, it was about 20 miles away from where I lived, I suspect a load of us were bored and a friend had a car so why not!

I wish I could say, but I am always sworn to secrecy until official announcements are made.

The only newly mixed albums that have already been mentioned and are awaiting release are 'Sound On Sound' from Bill Nelson's Red Noise, and 'Holidays In Eden' by Marillion. Two others (one of which is a massive box set containing numerous studio albums and several live concerts) finished and being scheduled, and three others almost complete, and another just started. Three of these projects date from that crucial 1969-74 period.

More being lined up as we speak!

GO STEPHEN, GO!!!

Rather wonder of the 'massive box set containing numerous studio albums and several live concerts' is Hammill.

Been a while since I listened to either of these albums. I know there are complaints about "scooped" mids on both Quadio boxes, but that EQ curve must suit my tastes, because they sound pretty great to me. (Okay: lead vocals on Chicago V could sometimes be higher in the mix, but if I'm careful about moving into my system's sweet spot, they're usually good.)

I started buying music in 1972 when I was 12, an obsession that still goes to this day, I was all about T.rex, Bowie, Slade then

Aren't some of the parts missing when you turn off discrete channels?

Not when they are blank.

It seems like only a year ago I started a 5oth anniversary thread about 1971 music... I got many great replies just like this '72 thread. This has been very interesting to read. And the thing that sinks in the most is that while this was a whopping 50 years ago, many of the artists were already on their 3rd or 4th major album release. WOW!

Fantastic....I always like it when we are reminded of a great album of music to take in.

Thank you.

Here is a partial list of performers for the Boston Common Sunset Series of concerts in 1972.
I went to most of them....and for $2.50 a ticket.
72 was indeed a great year for music.

Something on this list struck me as very strange for 1972. Jim Morrison died the year before so was the band performing without Jim? I don't remember anything after LA Woman except for "Other Voices".

I don't remember too much music specifically, part of 72 I was in the Army overseas and part back home, unboxing and setting up some new quad gear! Then it was back to a "real" job.

I keep thinking Moontan came out that year, or was it '73?

July 1973

To be honest, I never gave any thought to the Doors touring without Jim Morrison for the obvious reason.

 

[mandrix]

I thought their foray into jazz not very inspiring...but that's based on listening to the later albums many years ago.
I am a jazz, jazz-fusion lover btw. Not too much into horns though except sax.

If you bought the 8-track tape, you missed out on the Zoetrope for your turntable.
